Simple spur fix

This fix reduced the spurs by up to 10 db and requires ONLY ONE
part to be added.
There is big change above 10MHz in the board. There is some improvement
below also.

The way I did it, CW may not work anymore will
need some more mods for CW:

1. T2 - desolder the transformer wires that go to pin 3 and 5. Pin 1
has a square pad.
2. Bring out the two wires above board and join them together and
solder.
3. Take a 45Mhz filter- 45M15 or similar 2 pole - one xtal only.
Solder one end of filter
to the wires of T2 pulled out. The center filter wire to ground at one
end of R26. You will
see a ground via there.
4. Solder the third wire of filter to C10/R27 junction.

Thats it! This prevents the leaked TX signal that gets amplified by the
1st BiDi from getting into
the first mixer and creating havoc.

Farhan method of the same..much simpler and CW will work.

1. Remove R27
2. Solder the 45Mhz filter two extreme ends to the pads of the
resistor.
3. Solder the center lead of the filter to the nearest ground. R13 is
very near with a ground via.

The first method the extra filter will work in RX mode also and may help!
In the second the
filter is only in the TX path..
